Greetings colleagues:
Please see the workshop announcement below:
On Monday, September 12 at 1:00pm ET, please join the White House and community partners for a virtual back to school virtual workshop on how we can support families through two programs: the expanded Child Tax Credit, which provides payments to eligible families with children, and the Affordable Connectivity Program, which helps eligible families access high-speed internet.
During this special event, you will learn how your state/ local government agency, school district, and/or community-based/faith-based organization can help families access these programs. You will hear from White House American Rescue Plan Coordinator Gene Sperling and other senior administration officials about the importance of this effort. You will also learn best practices on effective outreach to eligible Americans, and the support and resources available for this outreach.
